Easiest Ever Pizza Dough

Recipe #23137 | 40 min | 30 min prep | add private note

By: Sackville

This is so easy to make — no long rising times and all in one bowl! And, if you don't feel like pizza, try just brushing the dough with olive oil, and topping with olives, parmesan cheese and rosemary to make foccacia bread. I have also topped it with a mixture of oil, finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, oregano) and garlic paste.

SERVES 3 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Throw all ingredients into a bowl and mix together with a food processor (using dough hooks) or by hand.
  2. 2
    The dough will be fairly sticky but don't add any more flour.
  3. 3
    Instead scrape it into an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth and leave to rise for 30 minutes or until doubled in size. I like to let my dough rise in an ever-so-slightly warmed oven or in an airing cupboard.
  4. 4
    When dough is finished rising, pre-heat oven to 400 F degrees.
  5. 5
    Turn onto a floured surface and work in a bit more flour until the dough loses its stickiness -- you shouldn't need too much -- then roll out to desired size, keeping the dough about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. 6
    Leave to rise for about 10 minutes, before topping with your favourite ingredients.
  7. 7
    Put on a baking sheet sprinkled with flour or cornmeal and bake for 10-15 minutes in a very hot oven until lightly browned. Our standard is 230-240 C in a fan oven for 10 minutes on a top shelf.

I use this recipe all the team. Really easy to make - I sometimes have to add a little extra water to make sure all the ingredients can blend properly. After I get the basic dough done, however, I add a bit of garlic salt, a bit of oregano and some parmesan cheese. Because I'm a brat and refuse to use pre-grated cheese, if I don't have cheese in the house I'll just braid the dough and brush some olive oil, garlic salt, oregano, parmesan cheese on top. Unfortunately I rarely get to eat more than a bite because my boyfriend eats the entire loaf before it completely cools.

    This recipe was so easy the only thing is you have to add a lot of extra flour to make it workable. But it was still delicious

    This recipe did make a wonderful pizza crust, but it was not the "easiest ever" I was expecting. The dough was so sticky I had to add quite a bit of flour to make it workable so that it wouldn't stick to my hands, and it still wasn't rollable, so I just patted it out. I did use spelt flour (very tasty and hearty), but I don't see how that would have affected the stickiness that much. So it was yummy and worthwhile, but a bit more of a pain to make than expected.

    My human dad asked me to send in this review. Please note that this is a review of the recipe AFTER Friedel and my dad had an on-line discussion following the 2-star review that he previously sent in, and after Friedel was kind enough to send a correction of the recipe to Recipezaar. What a difference it made to have the ingredients and instructions made clear by the author. We wound up making 2 more batches because it was so good and easy to make, and it got used as follows: (1) pizza crust for homemade pizza; (2) the dough ingredient in Chef ChrissyO’s Sausage Bread Roll for doggies (that would be me) - her recipe is ID # 28379; and (3) rounded into small individual focaccia breads, which were topped with caramelized onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped artichoke hearts, minced garlic, chopped olives, fresh rosemary, and ground black pepper. As a result of the voracious consumption of these three goodies that subsequently occurred in our household, it is necessary and just to change the words “heavy and chewy” in the previous review to “airy, delicious and extremely versatile” in this review. And, without hesitation or reservation, to upgrade the rating from 2 stars to 5.
